Day 22 21/07/09 Chicago, IL. > Lake Geneva, WI. 81miles.

Left Keir, David and Sylvia very grudgingly! After imediately getting the really simple directions wrong... i left Chicago! The shit really hit the fan then as the road i was following became an interstate without any proper warning signs. Just before the turn off i was pulled over by a rather unhelpful policeman who thought i was having a bit of a laugh which i can assure you was not the case! After a few phone calls home mr lee sorted my head out and after an hour's break i carried on the road which was very busy so changed direction north to see what would happen! Went through lovely country roads before ending up on a cycle track! Much better!
Came off the track near the WI/IL border where i grabbed some food and met Tiffany, Tammy, Scott and Red, who kindly offered to put me up! Scott sorted me out with a really good route for the next few days!
